If you are a covered entity or a business associate then you are required to assess your security program. You’re not required to hire a third party to perform this assessment, but there are a lot of benefits to having an objective third party deliver this.

Gratia, Inc. can look at the security environment objectively and tell you what you need to know without a hidden agenda

Gratia, Inc. is focused on IT compliance and security, so we strive to be the best at assessing security programs against regulations like HIPAA

We know how to do these assessments. You aren’t paying us to “figure it out”.

What makes Gratia, Inc. different?

Gratia, Inc. is not a checklist security company. There is a big difference between having an experienced security expert complete a HIPAA Security assessment versus other methods, like downloading a template.

There are many significant value propositions that our clients realize. Examples include:

Gratia, Inc.’s Methodology – Gratia, Inc. has developed a proprietary approach to assessing HIPAA information security risks. It’s more than a checklist of questions and recorded answers. Our approach gives you a full picture of your risks – prioritized and rated, so you know which security investments will have the greatest impact.

Full Transparency – Gratia, Inc. strongly believes in empowering our customers. The more knowledge transfer that occurs during our engagement, the more value our customers recognize. Gratia, Inc. fully discloses the methods, tools, and configurations used to perform analysis work for our customers in the hope that they can easily adopt our processes for their future benefit.

Product Agnostic – Gratia, Inc. does not represent any third-party products or services; on purpose. Our projects and recommendations stand on their own, with no ulterior motive to sell you things you don’t really need.

What are the deliverables I should expect?

We consistently get great feedback on our reporting style. Gratia, Inc. has spent years developing reports that communicate assessment results in clear, easy to digest ways, that are appropriate for both technical and non-technical audiences. Typical deliverables out of an information security assessment include:

Executive Summary Report

Full Report

Action Plan and/or Road Map

What does a HIPAA Security Rule audit cost?

Because of our tailored approach, all you need to do is spend a few minutes on the phone with our team to make sure we are delivering exactly what you need and want.
